Tipalet's is definitely a cooler name then black and milds.

This one stuck with me from Ogilvy's book:

Canterbury milk is the best in the land,
Here I sit with a can in my hand.
No tits to pull, no hay to pitch,
Just pop a hole in the son of a bitch!

I suddenly feel like I'm in my old marketing class :/

Do you have a link to larger versions? Some of those are suitable for framing.

These ads are 10000000 better than the dumb as branding you see nowadays.

The Camels ad is definitely real as I've seen it several times before. I have a framed 1920s ad with a flapper in it, I think for Lucky Strikes, where she equates sexual equality with the ability to smoke. I should take a picture of my picture.

My father used to work on RJ Reynolds' Camels ads, including the infamous Joe Camel campaign. McCann-Erickson was the agency for the client at the time. RJ was marketing ciggies to kids even though they denied it. My father made incredible bank as a freelancer, and there was more money sloshing around pushing cigarettes than anything else in the whole wide world.

ftw

This for the win. If anyone is ever in or passing through Windsor, make sure you go to the Hiram Walker/Canadian Club Museum. Very cheap and some great history. They also through in some whiskey sampling.

I think these are way better than a lot of the crap ads we see now. I wonder what would happen if I adapted one of these ads to something modern day to use in cpa.
